An American Werewolf in Paris (the "An" does not appear in the title scene) is a 1997 comedy horror film directed by Anthony Waller, screenplay by Tim Burns, Tom Stern, and Waller, and starring Tom Everett Scott and Julie Delpy. It follows the general concept of, and is a sequel to, John Landis's 1981 film An American Werewolf in London. The film is an international co-production between companies from the United States, France, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg.

Unlike its predecessor An American Werewolf in London which was distributed by Universal Pictures, this film was distributed by Buena Vista Pictures under its Hollywood Pictures label. The film was met with negative reviews from critics and grossed over $26 million against a $25 million budget at the box office.
